In the April 2 court agreement, Getty Realty said it regards contracts to lease the stations to be terminated, along with its lease with Getty Petroleum Marketing.

While Getty Realty can evict dealers from its stations, the company is expected to allow them to remain on a month-to-month basis during its search for new wholesalers to lease the stations, CSPnet reported.

Getty Petroleum Marketing filed for Chapter 11 in December. As of early March, CSPnet reports that it had paid Getty Realty $10.3 million of about $19 million in rent due.

The company owes more than 200 debtors more than $50 million, according to court records.
